Aurora Xi®

Aurora X ⁱ _® builds on our patented Aurora ^® track inspection technology that’s been put to use to ensure the safety of miles upon miles of track around the world. While Aurora scans the surface of your track to reveal potential problems, Aurora X ⁱ uses backscatter x-ray technology to look inside track components to reveal everything from the depth of cracks to hollow spots in ties.

Aurora Xⁱ is a 2016 R&D 100 Finalist. The R&D 100 Awards recognize excellence in innovation and have earned the name the "Oscars of Invention."

Services

Wood Tie Grading. Wood tie failures are often due to decay and deterioration that isn’t available from the surface. Aurora Xⁱ combines both surface and internal images to find hollow or damaged areas in the tie that inspectors might miss. It then assigns one of four grades to each tie so you can forecast a tie’s remaining life accordingly.
Data Management

Aurora Xⁱ provides easy-to-understand reports tailored to your railway’s specific needs. Tie grade reports make it easy to forecast the life of your ties and plan replacement programs accordingly. Detailed compliance reports allow you to confirm that you have at least the minimum number of effective wood ties in a segment, uncover defective rail joints and check for rail seat deterioration exceptions in concrete ties. Custom reports can be created that detail everything from flawed fasteners to the severity of RBC in tunnels.
